This is very cute and cozy! Nice and polished game, well done =)
What was a bit unfortunate for me is that as soon as I was able to advance 1 hour, I got so much money at once, that after that I could just stay in the shop and clicking the buttons without being able to see grannies :( Maybe if you can incorporate the shop interface into the main game screen it would allow you to buy upgrades while watching over grannies at the same time!
Also I was going to try a 100% completion and advancing one year took quite a long time, so I was wondering how much time it will take to do this 100 times... xD But then when I tried to advance 1 year for the 3rd time I guess something glitched? Cause it just kept calculating and calculating for much longer than first 2 times took...
But apart from that, I enjoyed playing, super relaxing music also!
this looks so polished and cozy 😤something about a nicely made idle clicker that speaks to my comfy soul
A lovely cozy incremental game, great work! Felt a little weird watching a granny vibrate like that when clicking on her really fast! lol. Beautiful pixel art!
I'm a sucker for games about watching a number go up, and this is a very well-made one!
I really like it, I don't really have any notes other than the completion percentage in the upper-left corner not registering and being replaced by a box, for me.
Great game, I'm gonna keep it playing while I'm looking at the other submissions haha
Oh that’s an interesting bug. Any chance of a screenshot for that? What browser/device you playing on? Thanks for the kind feedback otherwise :)
I'm playing on Mozilla Firefox, maybe that's why
Thanks for sending this over! Could be Firefox... I'll have to do some testing. I'm also guessing there may be some localization issues here as the commas aren't displaying for the large numbers and the percent complete uses a comma instead of a dot, so that is maybe the more likely issue. I spent 0 time ensuring that would work properly :) I apologize!
Haha no problem, I definitely wouldn't expect you to account for that for a jam!
My browser is configured in french, so yeah that might actually be part of it.
Infinite money glitch haha. Super nice and clean, I felt a little bad making the grannies knit continuously though lol! My only thing would be if you spammed buying something from the shop, there would be a slight lag delay before being able to move your mouse again. Other than that, I really enjoyed playing this game!
Maybe I've just had a tiring week but this is so absorbing and relaxing! As many others have said the autoclicker is a godsend and it's also really nice to leave on in the background while doing other tasks. The little grannies are so cute that I almost forget that I'm ruling over them with an iron fist lol. I can imagine a full release of something like this being really popular, especially if it incorporated some kind of pomodoro timer so people can use it as a concentration aid. Thanks for sharing your game! edit: I want to add after playing a bit longer that I don't love the ability to skip time, I feel like it makes the experience lose some of it's cosyness and just feel like a numbers game, so that's my one major criticism.
Nice work! If I could give a million comfy points to that comfy cut scene, I would! So damn comfy! XD
Very cute game! I think I got about 700,000,000 or so blankies made. I was putting those Granny's to work! I do wish that the speed-up-time durations were faster for the later ones. Clicking the year one and then sitting there for 5-10 minutes or however long it was did get a little old but at the same time, accumulated money way faster that I would have otherwise, so maybe its a nice balance. Overall, really solid entry and well done! You should be very proud of this one! Thanks for sharing it :)
Very cute and VERY addicting omg. I wish the year calculations didn't take actual years though. I'm stuck waiting forever and I can't even save while it's calculating! I really liked the visuals and the autoclicker but I can't help feeling bad for the grannies whenever they fall asleep...I feel like I'm extorting them...Anyways. Very nice, comfy, and well rounded game! My only real complaint is the year calculations. (It's been going for at LEAST 30 min and its less than 10.7% done...)
Aw thanks so much! Your feedback is heard loud and clear. It goes a lot faster when the game has access to full background thread support but it suffers on web. I have some thoughts to improve it when the build unlocks. If you leave your tab active it *will* complete eventually. The completion% is for the overall game (ie how close you are to beating it), not how far along the advance time is going. This is good feedback too that we will make more clear. Thanks so much for checking it out and the awesome feedback!
Very fun and beautiful game, calculating a year is a little long tho. Hover instead of carpal tunnel clicking is MVP for me!
Exceptionally strong submission! I loved that you made an addictive clicker game that doesn't require clicking (THANK YOU). The audio and visuals are on point, and I think the mechanics are really fun here. Thanks for making and sharing this—I really enjoyed it!
Thanks for the generous feedback, and I'm so glad you dug not clicking! I haven't played many clicker games before, and after I got the gameplay loop finished and tested my finger hurt so bad lol - I woke up the next morning and implemented auto click and never looked back!
Really nice game and indeed very comfy. Cool visuals and very nice artwork, especially loved the music / sound design. Making the yarn and blankets as fast as I could and seeing the cash go up was really satisfying haha. Nice work!
Thanks so much for checking it out and the kind words! I passed them along to the dev team :)
Ahaha, I love this game, this feels really unique to me. Thanks for making it! From an audio perspective the only tiny nitpick is that the music could be calibrated a bit lower, or at least have a working music volume slider. Other than that, this one left me smiling. I really appreciate the vibe and the humor, it’s just cool and definitely not just another generic clicker. (and they actually visually use the right yarn! Love it!)
Thanks so much for the kind words, really glad you enjoyed it! I agree, I think audio settings are a P0 for any iteration we do. Thanks for the feedback!
i hope you don't mind me sharing a tool that I have really been using a lot lately and it's free. It works really well for calibrating loudness. Once I started getting into working with audio in games I found it very useful. https://youlean.co/download-youlean-loudness-meter/
It's actually a very interesting subject getting into LUFS and industry standards n stuff.
Very much appreciated thanks so much! Will check it out when I get some time, and looks like it will be handy for lots of projects.
So comfy, and an incredibly well used with the idle gameplay. Super cool game!
Thank you for making me filthy rich while knitting . 10/10 . That should be balanced lol... The game wont stop adding up my blankets when I advance time. Too much money and grannies I guess.
Thanks so much for playing and the feedback! The advance time can take a really long time in the later game progression, but it should run its course eventually. Let me know if it doesn't!
